Let us make flannel shirts for the Hotten-
tots, interest ourselves in mighty charities,
or become, in "a word, models of public spirit.
But let US not quite forget our homes. Incur
homes are lips that often and often will yearn
for cups of cold water, and sad, weary hearts
will gladden. and grow fresh again when the
cup is given, unasked, by thoughtful low
ing hand. The small offerings cost so little
There is nothing in the world that costs SO
little and is yet so priceless. The fire burn
ing brightly upon the hearth, the favorite
dish upon the table, the cold water to the
humble laborer when evening calls him home,
and the baby lifted from the mothers tired
arms, a strong hand at the heavy kettle, an
appreciative word for the capital bread and
the nice tea-this is the cup, returned full
and overlooking, that half banishes the cares
of the day, and brings new light into loving
eyes The old fashioned song played and
sung for the silver haired father, the ready
fingers that thread the needle for grandma's
fading eyes, the word of tender cheer for the
grieved child-theSe are such little cups, and
yet they are so blessed!-St Louis Magazine.

The Actress and Her Stays.

1t is said that years ago Mrs. Scott Sid
dons' dressmaker advised her to leave off her
corsets. What, lose me stage fguret" she
cried. "Impossible!' The dressmaker urged
that she was losing her figure anyhow, and
that the only means of saving it was to take
radical measures at once. ''Well, here go
me stays said the actress, and the milliner
proceeded to fit her twenty-five inch waist.
At the end of the season she came back again.
"Make me a twenty-seven inch waist she
demanded, but in the meantime her figure
below and above the waist had resumed their
normal proportions, her skin had grown two
shades fairer and clearer, and she looked
younger Since then she has never worn a
stay, and she says that whereas before she
abandoned then it was all she could do to

Remarkable Surgery.

The scieace of surgery has made such
wonderful progress IN modern times,
that the most intricate and delicate oper-
atoms are now undertaken and carried to
q successful issue. There are now sew
eral well authenticated cases of what is
known as pneumotony. that is to say, the
removal of diseased portions of the lungs
in cases of consumption. While, how
ever, this delicate operation has some,
times been successfully performed, the
risks attending it are so great, and the
chances of recovery so slight, that it is
seldom resorted to. The safest plan in
consumptive cases is to use DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This will
always cure the disease in its early stages,
thoroughly arresliug the ravages of the
terrible malady. by removing its cause
and healing the lungs.
